can i run a rick after market cdi and advance my timing 4*?

[N8tsNastyBlasty]

So i have a ricks after market cdi i bought off ebay and i was going to advance my timing 4*. I've read that the cdi is good for 1*-2* of spark advancement. It seems that would put me at 5*-6* total.Any advice would be kewl, thanx!


P.S. one of my 2 blasters already had an Answer roost boost?

i got a 34mm flat slide you can buy for cheap. off an actual race quad.

also is the CDI a programmable one or just a plug in play.

heres my opinion on timing advances.....
one or the other, not both,
and indirectly told to me, from a factory yamaha engineer.......
"timing is dangerous power"
i want reliable, long lasting motors,
so i'll look elswhere for that little extra ooomph

with your mod list, go to your user cp nad edit signature paste or write your mod list then save and it will be in your signature, and would you mind posting pics of your intake ports please

 

[N8tsNastyBlasty]

the cdi is a ricks like they sell on ebay. its plug and play. i thought of just advancing the timing 2-3* to achieve *4-5* overall. i think the roost boost is suppose to do something similar to the advance curve. i haven't ever tried advancing timing on a blaster and have built three that would fly. i just seen it as another cheap power mod on here. i know that nothing is free and expect some loss somewhere. i just want to beat a friends modded 400l 2stoke trailboss and spend less$ than him.

 

[sheeblast]

do this, dont advance the timing at the plate. send your head out to be cut, have the jug ported and you will be golden.

 

[N8tsNastyBlasty]

i keep trying to upload pics of the port work off my phone but they are too big? let me see if i can resize them

 

[blasterracer817]

[N8tsNastyBlasty]

[blasterracer817]
